October Summary

A few other things happened in October that got waylaid by more obvious events. But pictures were taken and I can't waste some good pictures (even if I didn't take them). So here are just a few other things from October:

Meaghan went on her first class field trip. Rode a bus and everything. Since chaperon spots were limited, Mom went to workout where she didn't have to think about how her baby girl is growing up. They went to Main Street Theater and had a ball.

With her teachers and some classmates.

Meaghan also had field day at her school. This was comprised of kids PreK-4 and older going outside to play games (dodge ball and some sort of potato sack race) and sweating to death in a sort of mad, chaotic fashion. The day ended with popsicles, cuz there's no better way to hand off worn-out children to their parents than topped off with sugar.

I finally got to go to a college football game...and it was even that of my alma mater. BYU played TCU in Dallas and Craig and I drove up to JerryWorld and watched the game. Well, I watched the game; Craig watched my phone as it continually updated the 7th game of the World Series. (He was a true sport about it.) The night didn't end with a BYU win, but it was still fun to cheer on my team and I got to enjoy the atmosphere of college football.

Also some picture-less items:

We captured (that term is used loosely here) the carcass of a butterfly. It is our pet. Again, note the "carcass" part - the butterfly was expired before it found its way into our "butterfly garden". Easiest pet I've ever had, though I'm a little mortified that it's been two weeks and it's still sitting here next to me as I work.

The tooth fairy is going for broke. Meaghan has another loose tooth and Camron has four (two more wiggly than others). I figure the Halloween candy should decay what's left of their roots and the tooth fairy will be paying out within the month.

I went on a ghost tour here in Houston. I actually took lots of pictures but didn't get anything worthwhile. I didn't see or experience any ghosts. I did, however, have a lot of fun with the ladies I went with. And...wait for it...I did encounter some blood-sucking entities! It just so happens they were mosquitoes and they sucked a lot of my blood. So unless ghosts are inhabiting the bodies of those nasty varmints, there was no paranormal activity. Bummer. I love that stuff.
